Hi, I have an incompatibility problem when trying to use PHP 5.0.2 with an installation of MySQL version 4.0.20a. The problem seems to be as follows: The php_mysql.dll file is compiled with support for two MySQL function calls (from the API) namely: mysql_drop_db and mysql_create_db (which are noted in the MySQL documentation as being deprecated for MySQL versions at least greater than 4.0.13 (the version I have installed at home)) but these functions are no longer compiled into the libmysql.dll (as of 4.x), obviously as these are deprecated MySQL have phased them out of the build of libmysql.dll. As of PHP 5.x I believe that you are required to obtain the libmysql.dll from the MySQL distribution as it's not in the php distribution, but this obviously poses as problem if you are working with a 4.x MySQL installation - the above incompatibility problem. Has anybody come across a solution to this problem apart from the obvious, recompiling the various lib's to remove this incompatibility (I'm thinking here that there might be compiled versions of the lib's out there that are 'fixed') ? I'll check back soon to see if there are any solutions but in the meantime will attempt to 'fix' the problems with a recompile (which could take me some time as I need to install a compiler, the source, make the edits and test). I'll post my results. Thanks, Steve.... -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
